The members were selected in order to balance out their talents: [[Naruto Uzumaki]], the worst student in his graduating class, would benefit from [[Sakura Haruno]]'s intelligence and [[Sasuke Uchiha]]'s proficiency with ninjutsu. Sakura would similarly benefit from her more battle-capable team-mates, whereas Sasuke would benefit from being forced to work with others.<section end=summary/> It would be later revealed that Kakashi was chosen specifically to be the leader of Team 7 for two reasons: Being the student of Naruto's [[Minato Namikaze|father]] and given the task of keeping the [[Nine-Tails]] at bay while unknowingly honouring the promise that [[Hiruzen Sarutobi]] made to [[Itachi Uchiha]] in secret to keep his younger brother safe and kept from going down a dark path. In time while training them, sharing similar traits to the latter, Kakashi noted the rivalry between Naruto and Sasuke to be similar of that to [[Obito Uchiha]] and himself. When Sasuke defected from Konoha at the end of Part I, siding with [[Orochimaru]] to kill Itachi for to [[Uchiha Clan Massacre|avenge his clan]], Team 7 was disbanded for the next two and a half years. By the time of their reunion at the start of Part II, though still technically a genin, Naruto gained new strength under the guidance of [[Jiraiya]] while Sakura's education under [[Tsunade]] made her both battle-capable and a skilled medical ninja. The two are reunited with Kakashi and are reformed as Team Kakashi to go and [[Kazekage Rescue Arc|rescue]] [[Gaara]] from the [[Akatsuki]]'s [[Sasori]] and [[Deidara]]. In the process, from a dying Sasori, the group gains intel that Sasori was to meet a [[Kabuto Yakushi|spy]] he placed in Orochimaru's inner circle. However, with Kakashi wounded from the fight, Team Kakashi was temporary placed under the command of [[Yamato]] with the addition of [[Sai]] to fit the spot left by Sasuke. Though Sai was given a mission by his superior [[Danzō Shimura]] to assassinate Sasuke, his new-found resolve to help Naruto and Sakura bring their former friend back to Konoha gained him acceptance as a member of Team Kakashi. [[File:Team Yamato.PNG|thumb|right|The new Team Kakashi on their first mission.]] During the second attempt to find Sasuke after news of him defeating Orochimaru reached them, Team Kakashi forms an [[Eight Man Squad]] with [[Team Kurenai]] to find him. However, interference from Tobi causes the group to lose Sasuke's trail as he was spirited off by the masked ninja. After Tobi reveals the [[Konoha Council]] being the ones who forced Itachi to kill the Uchiha Clan, Sasuke affiliates himself with the [[Akatsuki]] and becomes an international criminal. When news of Sasuke's attack on the [[Killer B|younger brother]] of the [[Fourth Raikage]] reaches Konoha, Danzō who had been appointed Candidate Hokage, declared Sasuke a missing-nin who was to be killed on sight. [[File:Naruto saves Sakura.png|thumb|left|The original Team 7 reunited for the first time since Sasuke's defection.]] During the Kage Summit, despite Naruto's attempt to convince the Kage to spare Sasuke, Sakura and Kakashi separately attempt to kill their former team-mate to prevent future implications. However, the two were horrified to find that Sasuke has become completely heartless as he reveals his intention to destroy Konoha itself. By that time, Naruto is confronted by Tobi, who reveals Sasuke's new target of his hatred to the boy and the revelation Naruto and Sasuke are destined to clash as they inherited the [[Will of Fire]] and the [[Curse of Hatred]]. Arriving in time to save Sakura from their former friend, seeing that he is on verge of passing the point of no return as the [[Fourth Shinobi World War]] begins, Naruto resolves that fighting Sasuke is the only way to stop him even if means they both die in the process. [[File:Chapter632.png|thumb|The original members of Team 7 during the Fourth Shinobi World War.]] However, Sasuke's final encounter with Itachi caused him to question his resolve. After reviving [[Orochimaru]] and meeting with a reincarnated [[Hashirama Senju]] and learning what it means to be a shinobi, Sasuke chooses to protect Konoha like his brother had as he rejoins his former team-mates to aid in the fight against [[Madara Uchiha]], Obito, and the [[Ten-Tails]]. {{-}} == Missions == ;Find the Lost Pet Tora * '''Rank:''' D-rank * '''Status:''' Success Team 7 was assigned to find [[Tora (cat)|Tora]], a lost cat owned by the [[Fire Daimyō]]'s wife, [[Madam Shijimi]].<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 9, page 5</ref> ;[[Land of Waves Arc|Escort the Bridge Builder]] * '''Rank:''' C-rank (technically A-rank) * '''Status:''' Success Per Naruto's request for a more challenging mission, Team 7 was assigned to escort [[Tazuna]] to the [[Land of Waves]].<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 9, page 10</ref> Along the way, they discovered that Tazuna had assassins after him and needed protection while he finished building a [[Great Naruto Bridge|bridge]].
